  Hi there Emma! I'm still so excited to collab with you! I can't wait to hear what you come up with; I just know it'll be fabulous. It was so nice meeting you, and I look forward to talking more! Cheers, Shoe.

• Whispered Candles 1 week ago

  I've been so exhausted from working I almost forgot we were going to collab but it made me so happy when I saw you'd posted something for us. I look forward to when were able to unleash our combined evil on the world lol.

• Dennis Jernberg 2 weeks ago

  This might be a little late, but after I heard Max Vanremmerden's cover of Sleepless a version of Hurt You started to form in my mind. It's insistent and it's haunting me. Can I cover it?

• Nick 2 weeks ago

  So do you want to just post it as lyrics before the site deadline is up so we can finish the demo after February comes to an end?

• Nick 2 weeks ago

  Awesome. Even if you could get me the simplest chords possible just to give me an idea of what you had in mind, that's something I can work with.

• Whispered Candles 2 weeks ago

  Okay, sounds good. I look forward to it.

• Nick 4 weeks ago

  So sorry I haven't emailed you in a while. I'm in Florida without my recording stuff and regular access to the internet, so when I get back on the 17th, I'll be ready to FAWM again.

• Dennis Jernberg 1 month ago

  I found out why I couldn't play your songs: my Hosts file was blocking Fileden! I removed it, so the problem is solved. Now giving your stuff a listen. Finally.

•  Fine Excuses 1 month ago

  Hi Emma, thanks very much for stopping by and leaving a nice comment!

•  ellen liss 1 month ago

  Oh dear, I started forging ahead with collab requests and Roel commented faster....is that a big Fawmer Faux Pas? I am sorry -- but you sound super busy anyway, so maybe it's an easy out for you. Or better yet, I'll write a song you might like even better in the remaining days? Trying to see a positive side. Apologies for the mix up!

•  ellen liss 1 month ago

  Emma, me again.
  Any interest in trying to hash-out that melody and create a song out of "No Map"? I would LOVE a female vocal -- if you are ever inspired, I would be very appreciative of you taking on that song....of course, feel free to alter as you see fit, etc. -- ?? Thanks!

•  MAX VANREMMERDEN 1 month ago

  SURPRISE! http://fawm.org/songs/3043/

•  ellen liss 1 month ago

  Emma, thanks so much for commenting on my couch song zong
  I agree with your opinion on the end and what words to use -- I was really rushing to get this out and kind of slacked off at the end...I like that a good reader like you can catch that and correct me. Hopefully I'll edit it a little in the weeks ahead, and take you up on your idea! Happy Fawming!

•  Jocelyn 1 month ago

  Just wrote lyrics. On my profile is the song "I'm Here Now". Let me know if that's something you'd like to use. Tweaking of the lyrics is also fine.

•  Jocelyn 1 month ago

  Did you have any particular theme or idea that had come to mind? (HINT: It will help my thought process! )

•  Jocelyn 1 month ago

  Hey. Awesome, I'd love to collab. If I manage to spit out some lyrics, I'll send them your way.

• Captain Vulpine! 1 month ago

  Well thank you so very much for the kind words!
  Hope everything is going productive on your end, you've got some good stuff so far!

• Monty 1 month ago

  Thanks for trying to hear my tune, Emma. I apologize for the error. You should be able to hear it now at http://fawm.org/songs/1071/ if you're still curious.

• jon autry 1 month ago

  Thanks for the encouragement, Emma!

• Nick 1 month ago

  nick@the-samuelsons.com I can't wait to see the lyrics!

• Nick 1 month ago

  Ooh! I've never heard that song before but I really liked it. Can't wait to see what you do for lyrics.

• Nick 1 month ago

  Sounds lovely! I think it might be interesting if we carried this out in a call-and-response form, making our vocal parts almost like a conversation, if you know what I mean. Just an interesting little idea. I'm not much of a lyricist, so would you like to write the lyrics for it? I don't mean to rush this, but my last day that I can possibly record before the 16th is Monday, so we should be swift.

•  Rick Cannon 1 month ago

  I'm glad you're liking my heavier songs... you should check out Brand New if you haven't already. They're definitely my number one influence.

•  Maeflower 1 month ago

  Hey Emma....thank you so so much for your kind feedback. And I'm glad you've arrived at the name which will stick....it took me a few years to do the same....but it's absolutely worth it. P.S. I love your influence list!

• Whispered Candles 1 month ago

  Men are evil and break hearts: this should be the genre for a collab song we do. Or the title. Or whatever.

•  Rick Cannon 1 month ago

  Thanks so much! I'm glad you can enjoy the lyrics and not find them too dodgy or strange. haha.

• Nick 1 month ago

  How do you want to go about doing this? How should we divide up the work and such? I'm basically open to doing anything.

• Nick 1 month ago

  So shall we begin on this collab?

•  sheilerk 1 month ago

  Hey, Sparks,Pixie, Emma : ) Have a wonderful time Fawming. I'll be looking out for your music!

• Shannon Marie 1 month ago

  Oh, I can imagine how being shy could pose a problem for singing lessons.
  
  I used to take piano lessons, but then I quit. I taught myself the keyboard and guitar, and singing just comes naturally... I don't do well with formal music lessons

• Jeni V 1 month ago

  Oh I know. So much...homework. And...reading. And...studying. Bleh. Who needs it?

• Jeni V 1 month ago

  Ah, Sparks!
  Yes, you will (hopefully) hear a lot more from me this year. Provided college doesn't bother me.
  Hope to hear a bunch from you, missy!

•  John Crossman 1 month ago

  Hey artist formerly known as sparks! I know, the wait is a drag... It's going to be fun, good luck to you too!

• Nick 1 month ago

  Yes, FAWM while on vacation will be a challenge. I'll have my iPod touch though, so I can do some demos, and the hotel we're staying at has wifi so I'll be able to get my fill of the forums here while I'm away from my trusty Mac.

•  Potato 1 month ago

  hey there, just stopped by to say i totally dig your list in the non-musical inspirations/influences thread especially the moon and society... i love the moon too, ya know in portuguese the moon is female, i think thats amazing in different languages things aquire gender and im so glad the moon is a girl
  
  anyway i'll pop back in feb to check out your jewels ...

•  Elaine DiMasi 1 month ago

  Hi Emma - new sticky name eh?
  
  Friends assured me, there's plenty of great music to be written with three chords. Then someone said there's plenty of great music to be written in the C major scale. I told them I hope there is plenty of great music to be written just on the first three frets of the low E string ...
  
  Can't wait to see what you do!

•  Valerie Cox 1 month ago

  I was wondering who in the world Emma was. Sparks, got it. Here's to great FAWM!

• T.C. Elliott 1 month ago

  Heya.. I didn't know. Good to hear from you and good luck in FAWM.

• Nick 1 month ago

  We should aim to get it done by the 9th because that's when I leave for a week long vacation.

• Whispered Candles 1 month ago

  Aww, did it have to be corn? Well, corn can be delicious when you add it to some pasta that's got a delicious cream sauce on it. haha
  
  As for me, I'll stick to stalking people while serenading them with the chorus from The Stalker Song that I wrote two FAWMs ago... "I'm not stalking you, I just really care about you...."

•  Errol 2 months ago

  Oh! It's spark the pixie! Alllloooo! See, I get confused easily too. You changed your icon too, didn't you. Why do people change, it makes it hard for me! *laugh*

•  Josh Belville 2 months ago

  Yay! Hi Emma. I didn't know your name was Emma so your message was a little confusing at first, but now I know! Yay! I hope this February rocks for you.

• Whispered Candles 2 months ago

  Hi! Do you want to see if we can actually manage to do a collab together this year? Maybe if we plan on one from the beginning we'll get something done, .

•  Linzi 2 months ago

  Hey 'Emma' I like the new name
  Have loads of fun this Feb x

•  Rick Cannon 2 months ago

  Not quite, but I'll definitely have songs in due time. (:
  I'll be sure to watch out for your stuff, too.

• Nick 2 months ago

  Hey Sparks, We should collab during FAWM! It would be awesome and hopefully it will actually work this time unlike 2 FAWMs ago...
